Marcella Lindeberg, a friend of Justin and also a designer at the singer's William Rast clothing line tells OK! she was surprised by news of the confrontation.

Lindeberg added that the outburst is out of character for the Justin. "He's really, really nice. But you need to understand also that he has 20 people constantly on him," she said. "And most of the time he's fine with it. He's excellent about it. He's really welcoming and friendly."
